				<h3>Apple Amnesty</h3>
				Tim from <a href="http://www.pottonpigs.co.uk" target="_blank">The Potton Pig Co</a> is arranging an Apple Amnesty.  Tim explains....<br /><br />
				"This idea came out of my frustration last autumn seeing so many apples going to waste on gardens all over town. At the time I was focused on free pig food and managed to collect up a great deal with owners permissions, but moving on from that it seemed really sad that so much good fruit was going to waste, even for the apple lover autumn can be too much of a good thing and much will go to waste. So my idea for an Apple Amnesty was born, its a simple plan but it will need lots of support and local publicity, the idea is during the autumn we have a central point in Potton for people to collect up their unwanted fruit and drop them off, then one weekend we&#39;ll crush and press the fruit to produce fantastic local apple juice and hopefully pear juice, which we&#39;ll bottle and sterilize then for a small deposit on the bottle make available for to the good people of Potton. Good food, or in this case drink, from local gardens for local people, Throw in a hog roast and a bit of folk music and it could be a weekend to remember and hopefully repeat next year. I&#39;ve applied for a grant to cover some of the cost of the necessary equipment, so would love to hear from anyone interested in helping out and bringing the project to life."<br />

				If you're looking for information about local businesses, organisations, shops or special events going on in Potton you've come to the right place.<br/>
				We hope to gather lots of information about Potton and make it available in one place.  You'll find that we've already added a few local businesses and shops but you can add
				any information you like to our <a href="/map">interactive map</a> by using the <a href="/addpoint">Add your own entry</a> option from the list on the lefthand side.  If you
				find your business or organisation is one of those already added <a href="/signup/">sign up for an account</a> and send us an <a href="mailto:admin@pottononline.net">email</a> and will
				give you full control over your entry so you can add any additional information you think will be useful to Potton residents.<br/>
				<h3>How it works</h3>
				Each item on the map is called a <b>Marker</b> and each <b>Marker</b> has information associtated with it, such as location, phone number, description as well as optional fields such as date.
				When you create a marker using the <a href="/addpoint/">add point</a> option <span class="ul">without logging in</span> you can only enter very basic details, but you can still add that information to the
				map to share with everyone else.  But, if you do have an account you can add much more information and pictures.  You can also come back and edit your <b>Marker</b> whenever you like.<br /><br />
